About

     A California native, Dr. Amee Sodha travelled far to complete her undergraduate degree in Health Sciences at Kasturba Medical College in Manipal, India, and then went on to medical school at the American University of Antigua. After her graduation in 2013, she began her residency in internal medicine at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center in Newark, New Jersey. Once she completed her training, she joined Newark Beth Israel as an academic hospitalist, where she has been deeply involved in the training of medical students and residents. Dr. Sodha has presented her research at the American College of Physicians(ACP) national meetings, and did her grand rounds presentations on the advances in telemedicine, as well as the inpatient management of patients with obesity.  She is a member of both the ACP and Obesity Medicine Association. 

      Throughout her practice, the devastating impact of obesity-related complications has not gone unnoticed: the struggle for breath, the debilitating strokes in the young, the aching joints, and the toll on the heart. While treating these conditions brought her valuable experience and fostered a deep empathy for her patients, it also sparked a profound realization: prevention is not just possible, it's crucial. Driven by this insight, Dr. Sodha started BalanceMD, a commitment to empowering individuals to take control of their health.

     Having seen the detrimental effects of obesity up close, Dr. Sodha brings a unique perspective to her practice. She understands the challenges patients face, both physical and emotional, and utilizes this knowledge to craft personalized, sustainable weight management plans.

     At BalanceMD, our ethos is one of collaboration and hope, a mission to change the narrative around obesity, one individual at a time. By focusing on prevention, education, and sustainable lifestyle modifications, she aims to help people not only achieve their weight loss goals but also unlock a healthier, happier future.
